How can i change it to look like normal folders?
It doesn't by default but you might have something set up which is doing that.
I don't think folder formats can change to flat view, but scripts can, and there is a script on the forum that changes to flat view when you go into specified folders, do you might have that installed.
Yeah, thanks, i will check that. Normally, i don't use the desktop, but i have a test install of the TOR browser, which has a tremendously lot of folders, so the main issue was to find its launcher inbetween the large mess of folders, subfolders & files. Without that, there would only be like a half a dozen items on my desktop.
